The Flame is No Longer Blue
If you look into your boiler, you will see a flame. It should be blue. If it is yellow, this indicates that carbon monoxide is building up in the boiler. This can make you, your family, or your staff very sick. If you see a yellow flame, evacuate and call a professional, immediately.
Weird Noises
If you hear strange noises coming from your boiler, this, too, could be a sign that it needs repairs. There are a number of reasons your boiler might be noisy, and all of them are generally minor issues. However, these noises are also a sign that if you don’t fix the issue now, it could become a big problem.
Heating Issues
If the boiler heats up slower than it has in the past, you could need a repair for this. You might be able to take care of this with a tune up, or there might be other issues. Either way, you need to talk to a professional.
An Odor
If there is an odor coming from your boiler, there is a problem. Even if it is a faint smell, you should contact a pro to take a look. It might be something minor, but it could also be something much more serious.
Higher Energy Bills
